Prose about past work.

Time flies and the past is like smoke. After years of precipitation and brewing, all the trivial things I encountered when I was working outside the home have now become precious memories that I can't copy in my life!

I. Application

It was raining that autumn, and a friend of Xi 'an suddenly called and said that a famous catering enterprise in the provincial capital wanted to recruit a group of chefs and asked me if I would like to apply. Of course, but I'm worried about whether my conditions and cooking skills can reach a satisfactory level.

My friend said that as long as you have basic knife work and simple cooking theory, you'd better be a local snacks or two. I grew up in Xifu, the hometown of delicious food, and I was exposed to the cooking process of various meals since I was a child. Of course, I am full of confidence and gladly go to apply.

This catering enterprise belongs to a four-star hotel, located in a prosperous area, with one-stop service for accommodation and catering. The buildings are adjacent, the atmosphere is magnificent, the green belt is rippling and surrounded by pearls. The huge square is covered with small tiles with non-slip squares, and the sky-blue hard plastic dining tables and stools are placed neatly and orderly. A colorful sun umbrella is opened above each table. It's past lunch time, and there are not many people eating. It's light and quiet in twos and threes.

I sat on a stool and looked around. A little fat man came along. He introduced himself as the squad leader of the Plaza Group of the Food and Beverage Department, and you can always look for him in the future. He said that new employees usually have to go through the process of trying food, but you must be correct, because you were introduced by Lao Zhang, so you will make an exception. After signing up, wait for work! Monitor Wang said, if you don't want to eat first, take me to a narrow crossing not far away and shout "Come and plate fried noodles" inside. Then the blower inside made a purring sound, and after a crackling cooking sound, a plate of delicious fried noodles was brought out by the waiter.

I don't know the chef, but he not only added eggs, but also put a lot of shredded pork in the fried dish for me. The waitress brought the rice politely and then poured a cup of hot tea. I know the friend who called me to introduce my job. His surname is Yao, but monitor Wang mentioned Lao Zhang, whom I have never met. I think they must have been entrusted by others and made a lot of recommendations behind the scenes to find a job for me.

Anyway, I have a job, and my heart is of course warm, full of infinite emotion and gratitude. This is my personal life experience. I returned peaches and presents. After all, the real society is an era of "knowing familiar faces". I reserve energy and improve myself. Opportunities always reward those who are prepared.

Two. Xiao Wei

Two days later, monitor Wang came to inform me that my job was to make breakfast for individual travelers in the square and a conference buffet in the restaurant. At the same time, I was equipped with five little boys to send them, which can also be said to be both apprentices and helpers. Three men and two women, all young people in their twenties, are young and beautiful, lively and cheerful, and quick-witted. Although they haven't tasted anything, after a period of getting along, I think our relationship is very harmonious and everyone looks very happy.

I remember one weekend, after I prepared the ingredients for the next day, I went back to the dormitory to rest. Just lying down, I heard someone knocking at the door. It turned out to be my apprentice Xiao Wei, a big man with a stupid head and brain. He said that everyone was waiting for me to play badminton in the West Square! Thank you for your kindness, so I followed.

All five disciples are here. Xiao Wei told me to play badminton to keep healthy. When you came, six people just played in pairs. They are young and full of energy. At that time, I was over 30 years old, and playing badminton with them for a long time was really unbearable. That Xiao Wei seems simple, but he is good at calculation. He said that we should practice for an hour the day before, and then we will slowly increase the rehearsal time step by step until Li Shifu can accept it! I was "coerced" by these young people to keep fit, play and have fun. Although I was reluctant at first, with the change of waistline and weight loss, I finally felt irresistible about playing badminton!

In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the unit will hold the Moon Appreciation Gala soon. The catering department called on each team to come up with a performance. There is no program in our class, and we are going to shave our heads soon. Xiao Wei, who has always been taciturn, came forward and said that he didn't know if he could sing "A Mountain of Yugong"! None of us have heard the boy sing. Since he said so, it is tantamount to saving lives. Of course you can. Let him sing a few words live "It sounds like an anecdote, but it's a joke. Let the shoulder pole bend back, let the pedal wear clogs ... "Xiao Wei's voice is sonorous, rhythmic and dignified. All that glitters is not gold. Xiao Wei's performance won everyone's applause. Some people praised him again and again, saying that Xiao Wei was "a carrot mixed with pepper-you can't tell it apart after eating it"!

After the Mid-Autumn Festival party, our team was praised and Xiao Wei became a "dark horse". As a master, my joy and pride are beyond words. Although I can't sing, I like to chat in Xiao Wei in my spare time. Xiao Wei lives in a mountain in Shanyang County, and has four brothers, both of whose parents are mentally retarded. Therefore, he grew up eating hundreds of meals and didn't go to school for several years. When I was 15 or 16, I went to work in the city with the older children in the village. A few years of spring and autumn, ups and downs, let him optimistic and firm. He said that he just wanted to learn a chef's craft, open a small shop for himself, and then talk about a girlfriend living a stable life. Xiao Wei is positive and optimistic, conscientious and responsible, and has a clear life goal. Whatever he does, he is meticulous. His chef's breakfast leek box tastes delicious and the temperature is just right. Fiona Fang is well known.

Later, Xiao Wei resigned because of something at home, and we lost touch! Time flies, although more than ten years have passed, when I look back, I often think of Xiao Wei in Yang Shan, not only because we get along well, but also because he is a sunny ordinary man with humble status, lofty aspirations, down-to-earth attitude and courage! Nowadays, each of us lives in a harmonious and comfortable environment, because there are many ordinary people who are full of positive energy like Xiao Wei. They are like the sun on a sunny day, where they shine, they are bright and warm as spring!

Three. say goodbye to

I have worked in that catering group for three years, perhaps because I was tired of the unchanging pattern for too long, so I had the idea of quitting and wanted to try to do something of my own. By the end of the year, I have made up my mind. I remember when I first came out of the manager's office that day, my disciples and their friends were waiting at the door.

They were chatting noisily, and one of them said, "We have been together for three years, so please leave!"! The host didn't tell us earlier, should we be invited! "

Looks like you can't shirk it. So I took them to the casserole shop across the hall and ordered a dish that one likes according to one's personal taste! While eating, we talked while eating. I said that we have been together for several years. Please forgive me for offending. I didn't expect them to speak in unison. Master said everything was fine. After a while, a waiter surnamed Chang in northern Shaanxi said that it is rare to live in harmony for so many years. Send the bedroll to the station for you after eating! In fact, we are all a group of migrant workers from rural areas, who are resigned and happy in the city. Apart from the meager salary, there is no other welfare and guarantee, but it is precisely the sincere cooperation and hard work of these migrant workers that resolutely prop up the blue sky of the catering group and ensure the prosperity and beauty of urban life!

It is said that Xiao Chang's grades in school are quite excellent, but his family conditions are not so good. Her parents asked someone to find this temporary job in Xi 'an to support the family and support her two younger brothers to go to school. There are unexpected events in the sky. Shortly after Xiao Chang came, he met the bad luck that the glass door of the restaurant suddenly fell off and hit his leg bone hard. At the same time, two girls were hit hard. Because of the strong relationship, the unit not only gave her a good look at the injury but also gave her a huge compensation. Xiao Chang is not so lucky. No one runs for her, no one supports her. It's just that the unit asked her to take a good look at the injury. It was more than two years when she learned that the northeast family had received huge compensation!

After eating, I just took out the money to pay the bill, but Xiao Chang took out a pile of small bills. She said that this is the money that everyone privately collected for dinner at the end of the year, and she is going to see the master off! Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, I was moved by mixed feelings! ……

Later, my friend who accompanied me for three years insisted on sending me to the intercity passenger station and watching me get on the bus and sit down. They stood outside the window and waved to me frequently! Fourteen years have passed since that parting scene, but it still appears in my mind from time to time, vividly, still in front of me. I think they are about my age now. The ups and downs of more than ten years must have aged the once delicate face, but it has erased the deep meaning between ordinary people more clearly!
